Could you please tag the files without license? It's very exhausting to have a look at every single of them. --Holder (olay) 10:14, 29 Enero 2017 (UTC)

Thanks a lot. 4x Commons. And 100+ for deletion, but maybe wait to give them yet another chance to fix. 77.180.83.136 15:34, 14 Pebrero 2017 (UTC)

Hi, Holder. You have removed many pictures I have uploaded. Many of them were pictures I took with my own cameras. They were declared as my own and processed under Salamangkero (Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike 4.0 license). Please explain. Ringer 05 February 2017.(UTC)

Hi Ringer. None of the files I've deleted had information about Creative commons license or any other license information. --Holder (olay) 06:35, 5 Pebrero 2017 (UTC)

You could have talked to Ringer first before deleting the photos. --mercury (olay) 08:23, 5 Pebrero 2017 (UTC)

These files have been uploaded years ago without complying Wikimedia's licence conditions. For me it seemed that none was interested in this problem herte since years. Maybe that some of them have been made by Ringer himself but many of the deleted files seem to be taken from other sources. --Holder (olay) 15:54, 5 Pebrero 2017 (UTC)

Filipinayzd: do you really think that these files have been made by Ringer himself?

Ladawan:FlashElorde.jpg, Ladawan:Dacer-montage.jpg, Ladawan:Levy Aureus 004.jpg, Ladawan:Domingo C. Abella 015.jpg, Ladawan:Epifanio de los Santos.jpg

For me such files are most likely copyright violations and have to be deleted. --Holder (olay) 16:00, 5 Pebrero 2017 (UTC)

Hi Ringer, Filipinayzd:

1. Ringer had been contacted by Holder 2016-12-18 Olay kan paragamit:Ringer#Uploaded files - as of today no reply visible there
2. admin Filipinayzd as the only local admin had been contacted 2017-01-10 at Olay kan paragamit:Filipinayzd#Admin action but even now after more than a month has passed, no reply there.

Still hundreds of files in violation of the wmf:licensing policy. 77.180.83.136 15:18, 14 Pebrero 2017 (UTC)

Good morning Holder. For me its a bit tedious to have to explain many things about my wikipedia activities considedring i have little knowledge of computerese. But since I see you have made massive deletions in Bikol wiki, I beieve some files I uploaded were in those years when Wikipedia in general did not have this tool where you have to ackknowledge your source or expressly release them to Commons. Nevertheless, let me justify the files I uploaded and which you are again intending to delete: Ladawan:FlashElorde.jpg was simply copied from the English Wikipedia. Ladawan:Dacer-montage.jpg was also taken from English Wikipedia but I am surprised the photo is now no longer with the article. Ladawan:Levy Aureus 004.jpg was a picture of a photo of Liberato Aureus seeing he could not provide a picture but I signified to him I would take a picture of his face from his book cover. He had died since. Ladawan:Epifanio de los Santos.jpg was a part of a picture gallery of famous people lined up inside the Special Division of the Filipiniana Section of the National Library of the Philippines. I took down those pictures and with the permission of Mr. Narciso Crux, the Chief of the Sp. Division, took pictures of each of them. The progeny of these pictures is hard to trace and the guy Epifanio died way back in 1928. This picture in fact had been published so many times in popular magazines and newspapers in the Philippines. Ladawan:Domingo C. Abella 015.jpg, is a picture of a picture contained in the government publication Archiviniana, a magazine then being published by the National Archives of the Philippines headed at that time by Domingo C. Abella. I may be wrong, but all gpovernment publications are in the public domain. Surprisingly, although he is a famous guy here in our country I have not come across a photo of his face in any other magazine or newspaper altho I am a wide reader. But this is an aside. I hope I will not be obliged again to have to explain away every detail of pictures deleted. It is a tedious activity. (Ringer|olay) 15:03, 06 February 2017 (UTC)

Hi Ringer. According to the policy of Wikimedia Foundation pictures can only be uploaded if they are set under a free license. I just deleted files without any license information. I didn't delete files under PD or Creative Commons or any other license. There are many files left uploaded by you that lack license information. If you have made these pictures by yourself you can add a Creative Commons license or another free license. If the pictures are free because they are made by government please add a PD license. I'm really sorry, but otherwise also these files have to be deleted. Best regards. --Holder (olay) 07:55, 6 Pebrero 2017 (UTC)

Block

Hi Filipinayzd. I want to ask you to unblock my account. I promise that I won't delete any pictures. Perhaps we could discuss the problem with those unlicensed files? Best regards. --Holder (olay) 14:22, 18 Enero 2018 (UTC)

I've unblocked my account by myself (as I'm global sysop) but I won't delete any other files. --Holder (olay) 18:17, 18 Enero 2018 (UTC)

HiHolder. You have again deleted many pictures which I took with my own cameras in the Philippines and abroad. They are my very own only thing they were uploaded before 2014 when Bikol Central did not have the Salamangkero which automatically put uploaded files in Commons. I just do not have the luxury of time to re-file them to Commmons but no one else would question the copyright because they originated from my cameras. I admit there is real need to put them in Commons quick. In this regard, please be patient with us. Many of them are no longer in my safe-keeping because my old computers crashed and I failed to recover these files. Just imagine the damage if you would delete them from Wikipedia permanently! Please think positively. Why not help us put them in Commons? --Ringer|olay, 18 enero 2018 (UTC)

Hi Ringer. Al deleted files could be restored, none of them is lost forever. If you put in a license which is compatible to Commons I can move all files to Commons. If you have made the photographs you have to put in the license templates. I can't do this for you. They won't accept this on Commons. Best regards. --Holder (olay) 21:11, 19 Enero 2018 (UTC)

Look @Ringer, this user has been deleting files relevant to this project and he is apologetic of what he has been doing. He is guilty of deletism. I could have blocked him before but as you can see he unblocked himself! He could do that as an admin of another project. We are the only two remaining active contributors here and we have been trying so hard to find ways on how to recruit new contributors but here is one admin from another project trying to overpower a local admin here in this project. This is threatening to the whole project and at the same time this cross-adminship is absurd. I am getting tired of dealing with assholes like this user. --Filipinayzd (olay) 10:21, 20 Enero 2018 (UTC)

Hi Filipinayzd. I don't know why you're escalating now. I won't delete any other file or article. Please don't abuse your local admin rights in this case. --Holder (olay) 11:05, 20 Enero 2018 (UTC)

This user is now making it appears like it is me who is abusing admin rights. You were blocked because of your actions which you are guilty of. Unblocking yourself is an abuse of power. -11:51, 20 Enero 2018 (UTC)

@Ringer this project has no local admin anymore. Your contributions were wasted. Might as well propose to close down this project. -12:14, 20 Enero 2018 (UTC)

Hi Filipinayzd, I will try to explain the situation, Helder is not an administrator of another project, we are Global Administrators and we can act in all projects that do not have at least three active administrators, as is the case in this Wikipedia (please see [1]). We never trying to overpower a local admin. because our scope is to help doing administrative edits, and we have a permission to unblock oneself (unblockself) as mentioned in the link above.

As Helder mentioned above that for now it will no longer delete the images I believe the problem is solved. You and Ringer are collaborating in a great way with the project, please continue like this. Sincerely DARIO SEVERI (olay) 09:12, 25 Enero 2018 (UTC)
